Thank you very much. I'm glad that you enjoyed it. Let me know if you have any ideas for future videos.
Brilliant! Thank you very much for this video. It is greatly appreciated, especially since the choice of using either the Present Perfect Simple or the Past Simple is quite tricky sometimes for some of us non-native English speakers. In this context, I would be grateful if you could clarify the following for me: Is the (passive) Present Perfect Simple or the (passive) Past simple tense to be used in the following sentence: 'The poet, along with her editors, has been/was invited to the conference.' (?) P.S. I came across this question in a post/quizz 10 minutes ago. It is said that the correct tense is the Past Simple ('was invited'), but to be honest, I don't see why the Present Perfect Simple cannot be used here, especially since no time frame is mentioned, or any other specific context elements that could useful in establishing the time frame of the events; so, my answer was 'has been invited'. Was I wrong? Once again, thank you so much for your help!
Yes, this is often confusing. It's often taught as a distant/recent past, which is not really true. I agree with you that "has been invited" seemed to sound more likely, but without any context neither are wrong. Maybe I will have to discuss this in our Sunday podcast. Thanks for your message.
That would be great! Many thanks for your answer. I'm looking forward to your future posts.
Thanks
We're glad you enjoyed it, Luigi.
